Total War Attila - problems with the Dawnless Days mod.
Previously, I've been able to run vanilla TW:A on the native version with no issues, but trying to add the Dawnless Days mod to the game seems like a difficult task that I've been trying to figure out for days now.
First, I tried using the native version, loading the .pack files directly to the game's data folder (on the Steam version) and adding the appropriate mod commands to the preferences.script.txt file (as shown below)
That way, the game has loaded, but after a couple of seconds in the main menu the game crashed, seemingly not logging the crash at all (I've tried running steam through console and checking for errors there & tried PROTON_LOG=1 where I also couldn't find any generated log files). For debugging, I also tried reversing the order of mods in preferences.script file, making no difference.
Then, I decided to use Proton instead. With any proton version above 6.3-8, the TW launcher didn't load, throwing errors. The game itself has loaded, but the mods haven't loaded at all. On the internet I found out this specifically might be a compatibility issue which should be solved by changing the proton to 6.3-8, which it did.
After using the 6.3-8 version, I was able to get into the game, but now the problem is that the game crashes mostly when opening or closing the Diplomacy tab (so basically when shifting between the different map modes). This, again, seems to not generate any errors in the logs (as shown below, the last logs documented before the crash in the tdd.log.txt are opening the tactical map mode).
Using WineD3D (via PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 in the steam command) seemed to fix the issue, but the game suffers huge performance issues with WD3D. I'm running out of other ideas on how to fix the game, so I'd be really grateful for any help on this topic.
System info:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 260
- GPU: AMD Radeon 780M (integrated, not used for the game)
Nvidia Geforce RTX 5070 (with nvidia 580 open driver, also tried with nvidia 570 open)
- RAM: 32GB
- Disks: 2 (1 for system, 1 for data including steam games, both in the same format)
- OS: Kubuntu 24.04 LTS with 6.14.0-37-generic kernel

Help! Resident Evil Village freezes at some points, especially before cutscenes.
I currently want to play through Resident Evil Village and it runs smooth, but sometimes it just freezes, especially before cutscenes and for some reason theres still sound. I tried using GE-Proton10-27 instead of Proton Experimental but it didn’t fix it. Then i tried using this Command under Startoption PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_NVDEC=0 %command%, but this also didn’t fix it. Then i tried using Gamescope with and without the Proton Commands that i tried, but this also didn’t solve the problem. I currently stuck at the part, where you look around for Rose in Dimitrescu‘s Castle and fight one of the daughters or girls of Dimitrescu. I got past other times it froze by playing a bit on my Steam Deck until it autosaved. I use Bazzite 43 and have a Ryzen 5 5600 and a RTX 5060 TI. Any help would be appreciated!

Has anyone got Oni Anniversary Edition working? I installed it through Lutris but it crashes my entire system when launching the game
I installed Oni using the setup.exe from the .iso I extracted it from. Then I installed the Anniversary Edition patch also using Lutris.
When I launch the game, the intro movie plays. Then after the intro menu my system freezes and I’m forced to restart.
Anyone know how to get this working?

Display Flickering Weird Colors
https://reddit.com/link/1q42cuu/video/95z18spnhebg1/player
Every so often, my main display begins flickering rapidly changing colors. The issue can be resolved by changing refresh rate, resolution, or toggling HDR. It often happens after display wakes from sleep. It does not happen during sustained use. I know it is a software related issue because it does not happen on Windows or any other application on my display. Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to fix this?
Display: LG C4 w/ CableMatters DP to 8K HDMI (tried multiple different firmwares for the adapter). Running at 4k 120hz VRR & HDR enabled
GPU: RX7900XT
Distro: Nobara 43 w/ KDE

Looking for a Linux alternative to Duo (multi-user / multi-instance gaming on a single GPU)
Good afternoon everyone!
I’m very tempted to fully migrate to Linux and leave Windows behind, but there’s still one very specific use case that I haven’t been able to replicate on Linux yet.
On Windows, I currently use a program called Duo, which basically allows me to split my PC into two (or more) instances. This lets friends or my girlfriend connect from other PCs/phones/tablets/TVs via Moonlight, effectively sharing my PC’s hardware to create a kind of LAN party setup.
The most common scenario is: I start Duo, my girlfriend connects through Moonlight on her laptop, and we both play our own games at the same time on the same machine. Her laptop isn’t powerful enough to run even The Sims properly, so this setup works great for us.
Does anyone know of a similar solution for Linux?
I’ve looked into this in the past but couldn’t find anything that really matches this use case. I’m aware that:
- You can run multiple games at the same time on a single machine.
- With multiple GPUs, it might be possible to dedicate one GPU per user
However, I only have one GPU, so I’d need something similar to Duo that can dynamically share a single GPU across multiple user sessions or instances.
Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Serverless App to Transform GitHub Releases into APT and RPM Package Repos
There are so many great Linux softwares (like the amazing Heroic Launcher!) that are distributed exclusively by putting .deb and/or .rpm files into Github Releases, which means I have to "Watch" for new releases and manually download/install. I made this for myself to make it easy to add these projects to my package manager. Thoughts and feedback welcome!

Arc Raiders capped at 60hz on a 240hz monitor
I'm experiencing a refresh rate issue with Arc Raiders on Linux. The game is getting 130 FPS according to MangoHUD, but it feels extremely laggy as if it's locked to 60Hz instead of utilizing my monitor's 240Hz refresh rate. The 240Hz works perfectly fine on the desktop, in browsers, and other applications.
System Information:
Kernel: 6.18.3-2-cachyos
Desktop: KDE Plasma
Laptop: Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 (2024)
14-core (6-mt/8-st) model: 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13650HX bits: 64
NVIDIA AD107M [GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q / Mobile]
driver: nvidia v: 590.48.01 arch: Lovelace pcie: speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 8
ports: active: DP-3
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) Graphics (RPL-S)
Session type: wayland
Game Information:
Launch Options: prime-run game-performance mangohud %command%
Borderless Fullscreen
VSync OFF
Nvidia DLSS CNN (have tried others such as TAA though)
What I have tried:
Switched to X11 session - Game became stuck on loading screen and wouldn't launch
Verified desktop refresh rate - 240Hz works correctly outside the game
I can provide logs if needed - what's the best way to capture relevant output for this type of issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HDR on Arch + KDE + Nvidia + LG OLED
Hi friends, I'm having a bear of a time getting HDR working correctly on my current stack. I'm hoping somebody can help point me in the right direction.
Display: LG OLED B5 55" , 2.1 HDMI GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Drivers: nvidia-open-dkms 590.48.01-1 OS: Arch, running 6.18.3-arch1-1 DE: KDE Plasma with HDR turned on in Display SettingsSo here's the issue I'm having: when I enable HDR in certain titles (Cyberpunk 2077, Armored Core 6), the colors are completely washed out. I've played with all sorts of settings on the TV/Display and I can't find any combination that actually works. This is true with both scRGB and PQ on CP77; they both look awful (though in different ways). It's not a simple calibration issue as far as I can tell.
I've scoured various forums and YouTube looking to see if anybody with a similar stack had similar issues and have came up empty handed. If there's any more information I can supply or if pictures are needed to help diagnose, please let me know and I can supply. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(Another oddity: when I use Steam command line flag PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, my Gamepad input no longer works. Anybody else experience this?)

TLOU1 DualSense issue ($10 bounty)
Hello,
not sure if this breaks any rules, but I'll send $10 of a crypto of your choice to whomever helps me fix this issue:
I'm using a dualsense controller to play TLOU part 1 on CachyOS (using cachyos-proton). I cannot get the vibration to work for the life of me. The adaptive triggers do work when it's plugged in (I have been trying to fix this primarily while it's plugged in, not over bluetooth)
I have tried: - disabling steam input - cachyos-proton, proton-GE, proton-tkg - setting wireplumber rule to rename it to "Wireless Controller" as some posts suggest - adding udev rules for hidraw (my understanding is that these already come configured correctly with steam, but worth a try) - going into regedit for the prefix and adding HidrawDisable=0
any help is appreciated!

No se ejecuta ningun juego desde Steam
Quiero empezar a jugar en linux usando steam y proton pero para mi sorpresa ningun juego de windows se ejecuta. Desde steam le doy al boton de "jugar" y luego de aceptar los "terminos" sale una ventana de vulkan con una carga que al llegar al 100% desaparece y luego no pasa nada, el boton pasa de "detener" a decir "jugar" nuevamente, no sale ninguna ventana de error, tampoco se registra ningun error en los logs que he revisado.
Mi harware:
Placa: Gigabyte A620M GAMING X
Procesador: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor
Sistema operativo y cliente:
- Linux Mint 22.1 (64 bits)
- Nombre de kernel: Linux
- Versión de kernel: 6.8.0-90-generic
- Editor de X Server: The X.Org Foundation
- Versión de X Server: 12101011
- Gestor X Window: Mutter (Muffin)

Tarjeta gráfica:
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
- Versión del controlador: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 580.119.02

Lista de juegos que he probado:
- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- Horizon
- Sky: children of the light
- A plague tale requiem
- Outer wilds
- Tomb raider
- SIlksong
NOTA 1: Todos estos juegos estan descargados en un disco SSD que tengo aparte solo para juegos, desde steam tengo configurado el almacenamiento.
NOTA 2: El unico juego que se ejecuta correctamente es Silksong, pero creo que es porque salio nativo para linux, esto no me queda claro.
A continuacion listo todas las cosas que he probado:
- Cambiar de diferente version de drivers NVIDIA.
- Instalar ultima version de driver publicada en la web de NVIDIA manualmente.
- Cambiar de version distro, de Linux Mint 22.2 (zara) a Mint 22.1 (xia), pues vi en protondb que muchos tenian Mint Xia con la misma grafica que yo y les funcionaba todo sin problema.
- Probar otra distro completamente distinta, orientada a juegos y con otro nucleo: Bazzite.
- Probar todas las versiones oficiales de proton posibles, experimental, hotfix, versiones desde la 4 hasta la ultima estable 10.
- Probar versiones no oficiales (creo) de proton usando ProtonUp-QT.
- Colocar diferentes comandos en el configurador de lanzamiento de steam (comandos recomendados desde protondb).
- Probar lanzador de juegos diferente: Heroic Games Launcher.
Siento que estoy perdiendo mi tiempo al escribir esto, que todo es una tonteria mal configurada, o que directamente mi hardware no funciona para ejecutar juegos emulados, no soy de los que escriben en foros preguntando, al contrario soy de los que responden y ayudan.
Ahora estoy de este lado pidiendo algo de orientacion, no se que estoy haciendo mal y ya estoy desesperado y algo desepcionado de linux, pues no es la primera vez que me tengo que regresar a windows porque algo no funciona.

Games keep opening half off the screen
As the title says. I cannot interact with them either.
Just switched from windows. Clean Linux install. Drives formatted correctly. Using recommend drivers. Downloaded and installed all steam Proton add ons.
